Bauchi governor, Bala Mohammed is in hot soup.

Sources told us that he refused to obey the directive of northern power brokers made up of retired Army Generals and political leaders to step down for Atiku Abubakar a the PDP presidential primary.

Our sources added that the northern power brokers have decided block him from retaining his governorship or return to the Senate.

Insiders told us that the power brokers are suspicious the governor would want to prevail on the person who won in his senatorial district to step down for him, having lost out in the presidential race and they would want to block him from getting back to the Senate as a punishment for disobeying them.
